I can't believe people actually watch these clickbait nothingburger videos.

To be clear, I think China will eventually crack domestic EUV. And I also think their advances with multi-patterning LUV are remarkable. But there's just a hard physics wall of how far they could possible take it.

Right now they are producing 5nm with multi-patterning LUV but yields are at 20%! It's a massive economic loss but they are heavily subsidizing it because they have no other choice until their EUV program is achieved
